On Monday, Natalie wrote about the importance of getting a family history over the Thanksgiving holidays. I thought that was a great idea, and although I was going to write more about Grenada today, I was inspired by the holiday season. Recently I’ve seen an interesting trend of holiday health challenges. I saw one yesterday […]

How to Find Time For Yourself

You’re busy bees. I get it. Time for yourself is elusive. Heck, trying to find time for yourself might as well be impossible. Between friends, work, and significant others, it can be hard to find that nice peaceful moment, the one that’s just for you. Plus if you have kids, time for yourself is like […]

The older I get, the more I realize that being organized really helps all facets of my life. Organization kind of oozes into areas I wouldn’t have expected it to matter.
